Photonic methods for rapid crystallization of LiMn2O4 cathodes for solid-state thin-film batteries

Patrik Willi Hoffmann

High temperature and prolonged thermal annealing for the crystallization of cathode in thin-film batteries (TFBs) restricts the choice of current collector and substrates and causes lithium loss in the cathode. This work explores photonic-based alternative ...
